Course Text

In this set of lectures we discuss discrete-time random processes and the discrete-time Kalman filter. We use the discrete-time formulation to consider problems in (multi-rate) sensor fusion and sensor fusion in the presence of information/packet loss. We also introduce the information filter, which provides a particularly simple method for sensor fusion.

Monday Discrete-time Kalman filter Discrete-time stochastic systems Main theorem (following AM08) Predictor-corrector form Sensor fusion Problem setup → inverse covariance weighting Example: TBD Variations Multi-rate filtering and filtering with data loss

Wednesday Information filters Problem setup Kalman filter derivation Examples Sensor fusion example revisited Sensor fusion in Alice (Gillula + DGC07) HW #7 (due 5 Mar 08)
